Russia considers possible nuclear conflict between Koreas

Moscow - Russia considers "absolutely real" the threat of a possible nuclear conflict on the Korean peninsula due to the recent missile tests carried out by Pyongyang.

"It's a very real threat. Now it is important to resume some kind of dialogue," he said on Friday Vladimir Voronkov, Russian ambassador to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the "Interfax" agency.

The Russian diplomat believes that the priority should be the negotiation of six sides - China, the United States, Japan, Russia and the two Koreas - currently stagnant.

"The North Koreans avoid all trading and this is what concerns us most, since thus become unpredictable. Because of its unpredictability can occur anything," Voronkov said, whose country strongly condemned the defiant Pyongyang.

Similarly, the North Korean ambassador in Moscow, Kim Hyong Jun, warned today in a statement to "Interfax" that "the situation on the Korean peninsula is approaching a point where there may be a conflict with the use of nuclear weapons."

"The reason is nuclear blackmail and threats and sanctions by the US, in addition to joint maneuvers between the US and South Korea," he said.

The North Korean ambassador considers that the current maneuvers "Key Resolve" and "Foal Eagle 16" enact a disposal operation of the North Korean leaders and attack strategic targets of the Stalinist regime.

"The United States must renounce nuclear blackmail, to military maneuvers and pressure policy and sanctions. So, all the problems, including the stability of the Korean peninsula will be resolved," he pondered.

Jun pointed out that North Korea has made significant advances in the development of its nuclear arsenal, whose goal is "to cope with the US nuclear threat not only on land, but in the air and at sea."

"The right to a preemptive strike is not a US monopoly. It is quite fair to face the US with nuclear weapons, since they threaten us precisely with nuclear weapons," he said.

Recently, North Korea fired a short-range antiaircraft missile to the Sea of ​​Japan, the sixth release of this type in the last month.

This happened soon after the trilateral summit in which the US, South Korea and Japan have coordinated their positions "against the provocations of North Korea," according to then explained US President Barack Obama.

The nuclear threat from North Korea is one of the main issues addressed in the Nuclear Security Summit in Washington, which does not participate Russia, which proved to be contrary to the regime of Kim Jong-un reach the nuclear status.
